Wow, that's quite the list Blackduiker, but then again LA has always pretty much had a word-class collection. There is one I can think of that LA had once that is not on your list, tree pangolin.

Here's my list, it's a bit smaller, but then again, the zoo's only 11 acres.
Zoo Boise

Formerly in Collection:
Shiras' moose

Currently in Collection:
southern Idaho ground squirrel
Amur leopard
Asian black bear
Komodo dragon
Panamanian golden frog

Planned Acquisitions:
island flying fox
striped hyena (this Friday)
Visayan warty pig

That was so much fun, I'll do one for my former local zoo (Phoenix) a bit later.

Sorry about the title everyone, I've asked the moderators to hopefully correct that soon. And I didn't know Boise had Komodo Dragons.
